I am taking a shot at using the report writer from python3.   I saw a note
about "Wait until wx works" but I don't need the UI to print reports, so I
am forging forward

There seems to be hope.  I am able to create a pdf, but it is invalid.  I
will dig into this in a few days.

Current status:

I uncovered to latent bugs, fixed and submitted a PR and a fix.   It would
be nice if those were committed to master so that I don't have to deal with
them in the future.

I ran 2to3 and it did a bunch of stuff.

Some of that I don't understand, like
from . import foo
which doesn't seem to work, so I put it back to
import foo
except there are still import/scope/ something problems that I don't
understand, so I #commented it out to get on with seeing if I can make a
pdf.

There are also a few places where strings and bytes are mixed up, I slapped
code onto it to get past the error, but I bet that is what broke making
PDFs.  If someone can take a look at my last few commits maybe you can give
me some clues as to what I am doing wrong.

Otherwise I will find some time in August to research what the right thing
is.  Maybe.

Anyway, mainly wanted to get those 2 bugs fixed and let you all know I am
working on it and at least the report writer is promising.
